Antes de tomar esta forma, usted era sin forma; espontáneamente la forma vino, y cuando vino la forma hubo un anhelo natural de volver al estado sin forma. Cuando usted quiere volver al estado sin forma, sin deseo, solo entonces viene aquí, a buscar lo que usted es. La consciencia tiene que conocer a la consciencia. Cuando la consciencia se comprende a sí misma, solo entonces usted vuelve a lo normal. El estado original es antes de que la consciencia aparezca en usted.

Todo lo que usted es, ese "usted es" -la consciencia, el atman, o el "yo" en usted- no es otro que Dios. Todos los nombres y títulos de otros dioses tienen sólo significado para usted. Usted es el conocimiento "yo soy". Así pues, si quiere adorar algo, adore a ese conocimiento "yo soy". Sea devoto exclusivamente de ese "yo soy". Cuando lo haga, todos los demás rituales devendrán redundantes, inútiles. Finalmente, cuando realiza que todo es inútil, que todo es Brahman, significa que usted está en el nivel Parabrahman, el nivel absoluto. Cuando esté en ese nivel, lo verá todo como inútil, incluyendo el Brahman, porque el Brahman también se reduce a la ilusión.

Nisargadatta Maharaj''s I AM THAT has become a modern spiritual classic."What I teach is the ancient and simple way of liberation through understanding. Meet your own self. Be with your own self, listen to it, obey it, cherish it, keep it in mind ceaselessly. You need no other guide. As long as your urge for truth affects your daily life, all is well with you. Live your life without hurting anybody. Harmlessness is a most powerful form of Yoga and it will take you speedily to your goal. This is what I call Nisarga Yoga, the Natural Yoga. It is the art of living in peace and harmony in friendliness and love. The fruit of it is happiness, uncaused and endless. Turn within and you will come to trust yourself. As in everything else, confidence comes with experience." - Nisargadatta MaharajIn this book I have compiled and organized the Key Terms that comprise Nisargadatta''s teaching of Self Knowledge presented in I AM THAT. The "Self Knowledge Diagram" illustrates the general structure of his teaching, employing the Key Terms used by Nisargadatta Maharaj.The book, "Nisarga Yoga," is structured in parallel with the "Self Knowledge Diagram," and provides quotations from I AM THAT for each term used in the Diagram. Quotations are from the Acorn Press 2008 paperback edition.Stephen Wingate

Nisargadatta Maharaj est un guru indien de la doctrine de l''advaita vendanta ou non-dualité qui vécut de mars 1897 à septembre 1981. Son enseignement se fit connaître en Occident notamment au travers du livre intitulé Je suis vendu à plusieurs milliers d''exemplaires en France. Il est considéré par nombre d''Occidentaux, intéressés par cette philosophie, comme l''un des grands sages hindous traditionnels de l''époque contemporaine à l''instar d''un Ramana Marashi lié à cette école du Vendanta Selon certains participants à ses réunions, son enseignement se caractérisait par sa manière abrupte et sa simplicité, humble dans sa démarche, ne cherchant ni la notoriété ni la richesse. Il enseigne principalement qu''il n''y a rien à chercher, que tout ce que l''être humain recherche est déjà là, qu''il est l''absolu. Quand cela est réalisé, le chercheur ou le questionneur disparaît et devient identique au Brahman C''est alors la libération. Les échanges précieux de ce livre agissent comme un catalyseur divin pour ceux qui désirent quitter les rives de la recherche et de la compréhension intellectuelle, et qui veulent rejoindre la rivière intarissable de la compréhension de qui vous êtes ! Etre rien, c''est être Tout est sans doute l''ultime bénédiction de Nisargadatta Maharaj pour les chercheurs fervents.
